Confirming bug with slightly different symptom. After the update, my system hung on the "Configuring Network Interfaces" for at least 5 minutes, I think more like 10. I didn't know to try <ctl><alt><del> as posted above.
This is a Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2, intel 965g chipset , of course with Marvell 88E8056. Only one ethernet adapter. However knoppix detects eth0 and eth1, but I have no idea what the second might be. /etc/network/interfaces after update, showing problem is shown below. Nothing looks strange. But after commenting out the bottom two lines about eth0, I came up fine. Thanks for the info here! # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
